In celebration of the June 17 theatrical release and big-screen debut of “Green Lantern,” Warner Bros. will light up 11 North American cities on June 13, encouraging people to Join the (Green Lantern) Corps. Markets include: Los Angeles, New York City, Vancouver, San Diego, Miami, Atlanta, Cleveland, Kansas City, Sacramento, St. Louis, and New Orleans, where the film was shot.

To “Join the Corps,” fans will be invited to decipher local clues leading them to a secret location where the “Green Lantern” symbol will be projected from dusk until midnight. Those attending the events, sponsored by Kodak, will have the chance to win prizes, including an opportunity to be among the first to see the film at local preview screenings, limited edition T-shirts, light-up “Green Lantern” rings, “Green Lantern: Emerald Knights” Blu-ray combo packs and more.

And some people who are photographed with the projected symbol behind them will have their photos posted on the movie Facebook page at www.facebook.com/greenlanternmovie. Select markets will also give people the chance to record the “Green Lantern” oath which will be added to the Infinite Oath app on the movie website at www.greenlantern.com.

“Green Lantern” opens in theaters nationwide in 3D and 2D on June 17. The film has been rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action.
